Liberty Holds Off Lynx

The Minnesota Lynx had their six-game winning streak snapped with an 85-75 loss to the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last night. Minnesota trailed by as many as 15 points in the losing effort. Courtney Williams led the Lynx with 17 points. Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve says she knew New York would have a response, but was surprised by her team’s slow start.

Minnesota remains in first place in the W-N-B-A with a 28-6 record. New York improved to 22-13. The Lynx visit Atlanta tomorrow.
